  Get that non-cygwin perl out of your path and try using setup.exe to
reinstall everything.  Make sure - using task manager if need be - that there
is absolutely no trace of any cygwin-based programs or services running.

  Antivirus and desktop firewall software can both interfere with the
successful operation of cygwin, particularly if it's one of the
supposedly-clever behaviour-blocking varieties, so watch out for that, and
make sure that nothing has been inadvertently blocked; if so remove it before
you try again.

  Probably the next most likely possibility is that the machine itself is
terminally b0rken.


    cheers,
